"We sing a little song in our struggle - you've heard it - We
Shall Overcome. And by that we do not mean that we shall overcome
the white man. In the struggle for racial justice the Negro must not
seek to rise from a position of disadvantage to one of advantage, to
substitute one tyranny for another. A doctrine of black supremacy is
as dangerous as a doctrine of white supremacy. God is not interested
in the freedom of black men or brown men or yellow men. God is
interested in the freedom of the whole human race, the creation of a
society where every man will respect the dignity and worth of
personality. So when we sing We Shall Overcome, we are singing
a hymn of faith, a hymn of optimism, a hymn of faith in the future." Martin Luther King Jr.
